What is Windows RT?: Windows RT is the operating system that is just like Windows 8.1, but it uses an ARM-based processor. This means that it can't run computer programs like Steam, ROBLOX, and other stuff. You can only use Microsoft Office, programs that come with it (ex: Paint, Task Manager), and Windows Store apps. This sounds limited, but that's because it is a MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM.

Windows Tablets usually come with a USB port, so you can do tasks with a desktop keyboard and mouse. Most commonly they come with one, so you can use a USB hub. And yes, this means that you can plug in controllers to play games with (select games only, but a lot do support it.)

Windows RT ROBLOX would be almost identical to the iPad/Android versions, but also be able to support Keyboard/Mouse setting. Keyboard and Mouse support would also be available for other mobile platforms.

TL;DR: ROBLOX on Windows RT, and all mobile platforms would be able to have USB or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse controls available as well.

This makes sense. They have Roblox on iOS and Android already why not Windows? I support this.

@Imspartan

Tablets are more portable compared to laptops. Usually, laptops are at least 17 inches. My Windows Surface (with Win RT) is 10.9 inches, and other Windows Tablets with Win RT are either of equal size or smaller.

The original Windows Surface RT with 32GB (large amount for a mobile device) is around $300. Surface 2 (Not to be confused with Surface Pro 2) is $449 I believe.

Other companies such as Dell, Insignia (best buy's electronic brand), and many others also create tablets.

Why do you have a limited windows tablet and not just a laptop? It obviously doesn't run Steam etc. for a reason, so why should it run ROBLOX?

I mentioned the whole "It doesn't run steam" because commonly people mistaken the Windows RT platform to be the exact same thing as a regular Windows operating system.

"It doesn't run steam for a reason, why ROBLOX?"

Because Windows RT running ROBLOX would be the same thing as iOS/Android running ROBLOX.

@nteo


while you are correct in the fact that there are several computer OS emulators and options such as dual-booting exist, windows RT is a really limited mobile platform. as far as i know, there are no ways to emulate windows on it.
